"Thanks for the ride, lady!"

Good but not great horror anthology. Unlike the previous entry, this one focuses on only three stories. The first, a revenge tale with a wooden Indian, is a bog standard effort. The second is an inventive monster tale with a great "fuck you!" ending. The last second, about a hit and run victim who just won't die, is the clear highlight. Macabre, funny and mean-spirited, it makes up for the lacklustre first third of the feature.

Worth a rental, or a purchase for horror completionists.

For my money a more satisfying film than the original. "Creepshow 2" smartly shortens the running time and cuts the number of stories from 5 to 3, adding more color to each of the tales.

The Raft is awesome; definitely the standout in concept and execution.

As a kid when I saw that guy say "thanks for the ride lady" at the end of The Hitchhiker it scared the crap out of me. Not so much now. This chapter doesn't really work largely due to the horrible performance by the lead actress - she can't carry it by herself and the movie suffers for it.

More streamlined and for the most part a lot funner watch than the first.

Part of Horrortober 2012.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I saw this movie about twenty years ago and "The Raft" has been looming in my head ever since. That part is still good, if only for the heavy eighties airhead vibe, whereas the two other parts don't have much of a vibe at all.

The Indian part takes FOR FUCKING EVER to set up, spends TEN GODDAMN YEARS unfolding and the comeuppance bit at the end is monstrously unsatisfying. Total dreck, I hated it. The hitchhiker part, despite having an entire script based on a single line repeated over and over again, is still pretty fun. "The Raft," however, is the one you want to watch.

The flawless sequel to the original masterpiece. Though the first one was a total of 5 short stories, this one is only 3 short stories which works a bit better I think. "Old Chief wooden head" is an awesome story about revenge. "The raft" is the best of the three and its about some sort of mass in a lake trapping kids on a raft in the middle of said lake and swollowing them if they try to swim away. It's classic Stephen King! "Thanks for the ride, lady" is a haunting tale similar to "I know what you did last summer" and it's excellent. If only George Romero and Stephen King could've teamed up again for Creephow 3 instead of letting Ana Cavell and Glenn Dudelson destroy it. It could've made for a flawless trilogy....

The first and last vignette were long winded and forgettable, but the middle one, The Raft, was worth watching. Four college students swim to a raft in the middle of a lake only to be surrounded by a mysterious black pool of goo. I'm a big fan of Stephen King, who I believe wrote all three shorts, but these weren't even as good as an average episode of Tales From the Crypt.

i liked the one about the lake

Oddly, the second story is best -- what are you going to do in a raft surround by the Blob? Cop a feel!

Decent follow-up with a couple memorable stories.

I'd never seen this before. I loved the raft. The cartoon parts were really badly drawn.
